Pharmaceutical giant Roche relies on Almatec AODD pumps to handle waste solvents safely—Air-operated double-diaphragm pumps from German manufacturer Almatec have proved an ideal solution for Roche, one of the world’s largest pharmaceutical manufacturers, in handling waste solvents, many of which are flammable, toxic, or both. A relationship spanning 25 years was first built on Almatec’s A-Series pumps, and now continues thanks to the company’s economic and efficient E-Series models.

Plastic IBCs (intermediate bulk containers) from Schütz can now carry TDI (toluene diisocyanate), thanks to a barrier coating of EVOH (ethylene vinyl alcohol) copolymer.

Shanghai/PR China – Arkema will invest in new generation fluorogas production in order to partner air-conditioning equipment manufacturers in a changing regulatory environment.

Mouvex presents the new A6 model of its A Series Eccentric Disc Pumps. These pumps have been designed to replace existing Mouvex AF O pumps and are well suited for industrial applications involving both thin and viscous liquids.

Sometimes, what it takes to get the job done is highly specialised equipment. Nevertheless, quite often universal all-rounder units with their high flexibility have a lead: By combining process steps like sterilizing, crystallizing, calcining, coating or reacting substances, modern paddle dryers can be used in a variety of applications.

LSB plans nitric acid and nitric acid concentrator plants in El Dorado, Arkansas, USA. The plant operator has already selected Leidos to construction management services for around US $ 82.7 million.

Valuable chemicals in waste aqueous streams often go down the drain as treatment of effluent has always been considered a cost. However, with the advent of new technologies today, it is possible to cost-effectively recover chemicals from effluents in a pure form that can be recycled to reap huge gains.

The explosion at Wacker's plant in Charleston on September 7 was caused by a technical defect prompting a leak of hydrogen which subsequently caught fire, thereby severely damaging a small, but important facility of the production plant.

How to find the best cleaning nozzle for the job? One can always try it out — or save the hassle by using state-of-the-art simulation tools. It’s the optimal arrangement of the nozzles inside the tank that lays the foundations for reliable cleaning results. A new simulation software helps customers to find the most suitable nozzle system for the cleaning task at hand. Furthermore, it identifies potential weak points during the development phase and explores potentials for optimizing existing systems, thus avoiding planning errors, reducing downtimes, and ensuring more efficiency and process reliability.

Coal and lignite are the principal fuels used in many power plants world wide. Although their characteristics appear to be almost same, some differences do exist which set them apart totally. Variations in boiler design also present many challenges and system design has to take care of these issues.
